Topic: He's in China (P.R.C.) . . . (Read 776 times)

It's been suggested that he is in western China, which is giving him santuary in exchange for keeping the Muslim population in that area calm. Remember this when you buy that geegaw made in P.R.C. ("People's Republic of China"). Funny, we didn't have any qualms about violating Afgan "sovereignty" in 2002. But then again, Afganistan wasn't our biggest trading partner. (And there weren't 1 billion+ Afgans, either!)

Where is bin Laden hiding?CIA chief Goss says he has â€˜excellent ideaâ€™The Associated PressNEW YORK - The director of the CIA says he has an â€œexcellent ideaâ€ where Osama bin Laden is hiding, but that the United Statesâ€™ respect for sovereign nations makes it more difficult to capture the al-Qaida chief.

In an interview with Time for the magazineâ€™s June 27 issue, Porter Goss was asked about the progress of the hunt for bin Laden.

â€œWhen you go to the question of dealing with sanctuaries in sovereign states, youâ€™re dealing with a problem of our sense of international obligation, fair play,â€ Goss said. â€œWe have to find a way to work in a conventional world in unconventional ways.â€

Asked whether that meant he knew where bin Laden is, Goss responded: â€œI have an excellent idea where he is. Whatâ€™s the next question?â€

Goss did not say where he thinks bin Laden is, nor did he specify what country or countries he was referring to when he spoke of foreign sanctuaries. But American officials have long said they believed bin Laden was hiding in rugged mountains along the Afghan-Pakistani border.
